Gurgaon: The Haryana government on Friday declared a two-day school holiday while the Gurgaon Police issued an advisory to avoid travelling as thousands of commuters remained stuck on National Highway 8 due to flooding on the roads.
The traffic snarls in Gurgaon started when various roads in the city were flooded after heavy rainfall on Thursday.
The traffic nightmare in the Millennium City was so worse that some of the commuters were stuck since last evening. Those stuck in jam took to Twitter to vent their frustration.
Here is how Twitterati reacted:

If the INC govt. had constructed 0.30 lanes for every year ruled, #Gurugram would have had 10 lane roads today. https://t.co/g6HxlDNhnX
